About this ebook
“Perhaps the most influential non-biblical text of Western history” —Steve N. Mason (Canadian historian of Judea in the Graeco-Roman period.)
Josephus (CE 37-c. 100) was a priest, a soldier, and a scholar. For centuries, Josephus' works were more widely read in Europe than any book other than the Bible. The Wars of the Jews recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation and provides valuable insight into first century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity.
This book is divided into seven books, from the taking of Jerusalem by Antiochus Epiphanes to the Sedition at Cyrene.
A very worthwhile read!
BOOK I. CONTAINING THE INTERVAL OF ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN YEARS. FROM THE TAKING OF JERUSALEM BY ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES, TO THE DEATH OF HEROD THE GREAT.
BOOK II. CONTAINING THE INTERVAL OF SIXTY-NINE YEARS. FROM THE DEATH OF HEROD TILL VESPASIAN WAS SENT TO SUBDUE THE JEWS BY NERO.
BOOK III. CONTAINING THE INTERVAL OF ABOUT ONE YEAR. FROM VESPASIAN'S COMING TO SUBDUE THE JEWS TO THE TAKING OF GAMALA.
BOOK IV. CONTAINING THE INTERVAL OF ABOUT ONE YEAR. FROM THE SIEGE OF GAMALA TO THE COMING OF TITUS TO BESIEGE JERUSALEM.
BOOK V. CONTAINING THE INTERVAL OF NEAR SIX MONTHS. FROM THE COMING OF TITUS TO BESIEGE JERUSALEM, TO THE GREAT EXTREMITY TO WHICH THE JEWS WERE REDUCED.
BOOK VI. CONTAINING THE INTERVAL OF ABOUT ONE MONTH. FROM THE GREAT EXTREMITY TO WHICH THE JEWS WERE REDUCED TO THE TAKING OF JERUSALEM BY TITUS.
